The place is a hole in the wall, but many a times the hole in the walls have delicious food, and this one does. The clam chowder has a unique flavor- reminded me of scalloped potatoes with a pleasant twang, and it had BIG chunks of clams. Recommend the meal deal with salad or bread bowls. Yummers!

We visit Long Beach once a year, and had the good fortune of trying Captain Bob's Chowder a year ago. The husband and I shared a chowder and a crab roll, and then immediately ordered another because you just shouldn't be sharing Crab Rolls when they're this good.
Do check to see when they're open - because they do close...

We love Captain Bob's and looked forward for two years to going back for chowder. This is a charming hole in the wall with just 4 booths, a very bare bones operation, but the best white clam chowder and an even more wonderful red seafood chowder. Bob has also added fish n' chips since were there last, but we'll have...

Thank you for the review. We are little and keep it simple to do what we do best. Make sure to let us know a couple days before you come to Long Beach so Capt. Bob can have your red chowder for you. Happy fall

We were sent here to try the best Clam chowder in town. Sorry, Captain Bob, but we thought it was too thick and mostly potatoes for our liking. It lacked the big chunks of clams that we were hoping for. Next time we'll have to try your lobster rolls that do get good reviews!

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We do make a classic New England Chowder with several pounds of clams per pot. We also make several different chowder, they may be more to your liking. Please do stop in and try our Crab Roll served on homemade New England Buns. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

We are on a mission to find the best chowder in the area. So far, Bobs is the winner. Tried the clam and the smoked salmon and loved them both! Very small venue- we took ours down to the beach , but there are a few tables there if you prefer to eat there- very nice folks that own it,...

It's been some time since we were here. Thursday we had a crab roll, fish sandwich and clam chowder. Everything was so yummy. Today, Saturday we got there pretty close to closing time. We got the last of the clam chowder (tomorrow Sunday it will be smoked salmon chowder, then closed for a 2.5 week vacation).
The kids meal was...

Thank you Charlene. Glad to see you both again. Every Sunday is Smoked Salmon Chowder. It is a favorite. We take vacation every year at the end of September. Season is over, but we want to make sure we are here for our clammers. Claming season starts mid October. If you have never clammed before you should come give it...

Bob always has 2 to 3 types of chowders that change daily and we have loved them all!! My fave are the scallop and the smoked salmon. Bob makes them all from scratch daily and it shows. We eat here every day that we are in town. He and his wife are the sweetest and you can tell it's their...
